Superb Silver & Enamel Floral Pill Box Hallmarked Chester 1910

A truly beautiful antique silver & enamel pill box very finely decorated with gold flowers & forget-me-nots hallmarked Chester 1910

@nbsp;

The body of the box is a plain polished silver, and the crowning glory is the most exquisitely decorated lid. The background is in shimmering white guilloche enamel upon which sits a central circle of blue forget-me-nots and a ring of gold flowers and stars. The fine detailing is absolutely exquisite. Inside the pill box a lemony gilt interior adds another touch of rich colour.

The lift off lid fits snugly when twisted into position and the box is a very good heavy gauge of silver, lovely and sturdy.

@nbsp;

Condition: The overall condition is extremely good, the second part of the makers mark is worn but appears to be Cornelius Desormeaux Saunders & James Francis Hollings Shepherd. There is some very slight surface scratching to the lid that is difficult to see; it is commensurate with the age of this antique item and mentioned only for accuracy.

@nbsp;

Hallmarked as silver with marks for the Chester Assay Office 1910. It is fully hallmarked to the side with more part hallmarks to the lid, rim & base.

Measurements: Diameter of lid: 2.7 cm Diameter of base: 2.6 cm Height: 1.9 cm Weight 16.25 grams

All weights and measurements are approximate.
